Shane speaks regularly on network management and business topics at
international user groups and industry events. Shane's recent focus is on
leveraging Open Source tools in  network management and building the

Shane designed and deployed the network and systems management solutions
for the largest private network in the world, including over 17,000 routers
and over 20,000 NT & Unix servers.  He was also an active participant in
several large scale development projects, with a strong focus on web-centric
distributed development.  Shane was an avid follower of the Bluebird
project since its inception, and joined OpenNMS.org in March 2000.
